Findings show significant differences in MNEs' approaches to the SDGs. DMNEs prioritise education, health and poverty, whereas CMNEs emphasise poverty, education and cities in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Conversely, inequ…

Cependant les raisons qui motivent la participation des entreprises sont plus complexes à interpréter. À partir de deux études de cas menées…
